Chapter 40: Blizzard Flower City
Blizzard Flower City is a very large city that has a large population of over 15 million people.
In addition, it has numerous forces such as Sects, Associations, etc.
But, today...
'Shit, why is it so crowded? Since we entered this seems to be a city of 100 million people...' Tang Yin thought in astonishment as he looked at the large number of people around him.
They had walked from the entrance to the residential hotel area and were unable to rent any rooms.
All the rooms were full and he still doesn't understand why.
--"Could it be that there is overcrowding in this city?" Tang Yin said doubtfully, and Huang Feifei who was walking beside him, attracting everyone's attention because of her beauty, also thought that might be the case.
--"There are so many people, Young Master..." She said as she grabbed into Tang Yin's clothes so she wouldn't get lost. Tang Yin smiled, then grabbed her hand and started pulling her forth.
Soon they came to a rather nice building that also had a lot of people in it.
--"This should be the place, shouldn't it?" Tang Yin asked unconsciously as he looked around.
Huang Feifei, who was being pulled by him, also had the same doubt.
They were sent here by the last hotel they had visited, telling them that the only option they had at the moment if they wanted to stay, was to rent a house of their own because there were no rooms available in the whole city.
--"Let's go inside." Tang Yin said, and Huang Feifei nodded to him.
They were able to get inside quickly, and soon a person came to attend to them.
--"Young Master, Miss, may I know what you want?" this person asked politely, and Tang Yin nodded.
--"Sir, we want to rent a house, do you have any available?" Tang Yin asked, and this man could only sigh.
--"I'm sorry, Young Master. We have no houses available for rent at this time." Said the man.
Today, he had already said similar words more than 30 times.
It's absurd how many people are in the city right now, and Tang Yin could only sigh.
'Shit, how stressful...' Tang Yin thought and was about to turn around to look for another place, but the man ultimately wanted to earn some money, so he stopped him to see if he could get something.
--"Young Master, we don't have any houses to rent, but we do have some to sell, perhaps you are interested?" this man said, and Tang Yin stopped and looked at him thoughtfully.
Then he looked at Huang Feifei, and they both nodded, then Tang Yin nodded to the man attending them.
--"All right, can you guide us? If we see any we like, we will surely buy it." Tang Yin replied with a quiet smile (that no one could see).
This surprised the man, who had simply said that to say so or to try his luck.
After all, houses in this city are immensely expensive, and although they both dressed quite well, they didn't seem to be from wealthy families.
Could they really buy a house here?
But the man had no more work to do, even when there were plenty of people around.
So, he quickly led them to the place happily.
On the way, Tang Yin asked him the reason why the city had so many people, the man looked at him somewhat surprised.
--"The Imperial Academy and the Red Blizzard Academy are starting to receive students and disciples, don't they all come here for the same thing?" He said, and at the end, he left a question.
That's when Tang Yin and Huang Feifei understood.
'So that's why...' He thought.
--"The truth is that we are not from this place, we are from a faraway place and it's only now that we found out that the Academy is taking in students." Tang Yin replied after thinking for a moment.
The man then nodded towards them and began to tell them a little bit as he led them towards the sales place.
Basically, the Academy was taking in students, but this time it was on a larger scale, as they seemed to be preparing for something, though no one knows what for.
Otherwise, it was not important.
After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at the sales area, and the man began to present several houses.
--"This one here has a cost of 50,000 Coins, it is one of the cheapest we have that is near the center of the city, this one here cost 75,000 Spiritual Gold Coins.
This one 100,000..." Back and forth he was presenting several high-value houses and after a while, seeing that both of them didn't seem at all interested in those houses, he decided to lower his presentation and presented the cheapest ones.
--"This one cost 25,000 Coins and the cheapest one, 20,000. But both of them are far from the city and they are located in an area that is not very good to live in..." Said the man, and after several minutes, he finished presenting them.
Tang Yin stared at several houses with a frown.
He knew that houses were expensive, especially at this time when there are so many people in the city. But he didn't expect them to be so expensive.
'Hm, it would be great if they would accept something in return, other than the Spiritual Gold Coins...' Tang Yin thought and looked at the man.
--"Sir, do they accept something other than the Spiritual Gold Coins, as payment? Valuables or things like that?" Tang Yin asked, and the man looked at him a little doubtfully, but after a moment's thought, he nodded.
--"Actually, we can accept it, depending on the object in question. We accept Pills, Cultivation Techniques, etc." Replied the man, and Tang Yin then immediately became interested.
--"Oh, what kind of pills do you accept, and what grade of cultivation techniques?" Tang Yin asked quickly when he heard something that could solve this problem for him and prevent him from wandering around more than he should.
The man was surprised that this young man was so interested in this and thought, 'Could it be that he has cultivation techniques to exchange?
With the large number of powers that are in the major cities right now, selling them at auction would give us immense profits...' He thought and then thought that if he was lucky and could sell some for some cultivation technique, then, maybe, he could get a promotion, so he immediately perked up.
--"Young Master, depending on the house you aspire to, we accept Common Grade Cultivation Techniques of any number of stars. If you want any mansion, then an Earth Grade Cultivation Technique could solve everything, I will make sure to give you the one that suits you best." He said, and then Tang Yin's eyes shone deeply.
'Haha, looks like I'll be able to solve the problem easily.' He thought and then took out one of the Cultivation Techniques he had been given by the system, to settle the Earth Grade base.
--"Sir, can you take a look at it and tell me what it's worth? If you see it well, we could trade it for some house." Tang Yin said. Since he had no common grade techniques could only take out earth-grade ones.
He had already seen them and had them stored somewhere else.
When the man saw this, he immediately grabbed it.
'Shit, 3-Star Earth Grade!' He thought in shock and immediately smiled broadly at Tang Yin.
--"Haha, Young Master, please follow me quickly to the VIP section." He said and immediately, and without waiting for any response from Tang Yin, pulled him into a VIP room.
Those who saw him enter felt a little strange about it, but they had no way of knowing what was going on, so they went back to their own business.
